Битва за Страну чудес

Effects are applied immediately when you take the card — you gain its rewards (and suffer penalties) in any order you choose, and place any Supporters immediately (see p.7–8; FAQ note p.22).

You do not advance on the Battle track, you lose the indicated units, and you place the Madness chip on your Madness track; Madness and busting are always resolved first. You may block a Madness chip by using an active Shield token, which returns the Madness to your bag and flips the Shield (see p.12–13).

When drawn a Poison chip makes you lose 1 unit and is then returned to the Jabberwock (not to the Madness track); Poison can be blocked with a Shield (if blocked it returns to your bag). The Jabberwock has a limited number of Poison chips (players+2) so they may be unavailable (see p.10; glossary/FAQ p.22).

The Tea Party ends once every player has taken 4 Tea Party cards and placed their Leader into a Region; at the end every player gains 1 Madness chip to their bag, the player(s) with the most Shards gain 1 additional Madness chip and then discard half their Shards (rounded up) (see p.7).

Yes — if you have no units in a Battle you may place a face-down Wager on the faction you think will win; correct wagers gain any one weak Ally chip, incorrect wagers give you 1 Shard, and wagers have no effect in a tie (see p.12; resolve on p.15).

In final scoring you subtract 1 VP for each Shard token you hold (after adding base VP, castles, and quest points) (see p.15).
